A New Psychid Species of Bacotia from Japan (Lepidoptera)

Abstract

The genus Bacotia was erected by TUTT (1899) for a single European species, Fumea sepium SPEYER. DIERL (1966) described a second species of this genus, B. nepalica DIERL, from Nepal. No further species have been known in the world. In this paper I will describe a third species from Japan, with brief notes on biology.
